DUBLIN, June 10-At Bodyke. June 8,
two women named Tuohey defied the
evicting party attempting TO Gust them
for several hours. AS often as the evic-
tors attacked the house they were repuls-
ed by showers of boiling water and slack
cd lime, but the women were finally com
PEELED to surrender, and were arrested for
resisting officers of the law. Michael
Dayitt again addressed the people at
Bodyke to-day, and in the course Of his
speech stated that he had received a
letter from Mrs. Davitt, in which she
intmatcs that il he were arrested, she
herself would take his place and speak
where eyictions were being enforced,
counselling resistance to the law. For
the last eight years, MIR. Davitt said he
had been imprisoned for his speeches.
Brazen English governors had given the
Irish people nothing but kicks and in.

ticed, and he had abandoned his policy
of moderation for one Of resistance.

APPREHENSION In GERMANY.
Emperor williams Life Said 60 ne In
Danger

London special: A Berlin correspondent
wires that feeling OF great apprehension
prevails In official circles in that city. The
emperor has fretted so much over the mis-.
fortune to the crown prince that he is in
such n critical condition that it units him
for the transaction OF even routine business
and his health is put in grave peril by in
somnia. The physicians have begun to
administer bypodermic injections OF moi.
phia to produce sleep. What the result Of
the reaction from this treatment is likely
to be on his system, which Is enfeebed by
ngc, is not reassuring to contemplate.
1t has been affirmed by the doctors that
the emperor would eventually die
Of some sudden attack of his chiet
ailment, diarrhea, which would prove too
obstinate for their remedies. The use OF
morphine in said by the medical men to be
very risky, in view Of this complication,
with the emperor's life which is hanging by
thread. The crown prince is suffering
from an incurable disease, and BismarGb's
health is growing feeble. There is sure to
be n different situation in Germany. Who
will supply the places OF these personases
when removed from activity Gen. Boui-
anger, it may he pertinent to remark IN
this connection, in u recent conversation
with an English officer upon this Tact, said
that all Germany's great generals were 80
old that they could not take an active
part in war He said he did not place SO
much stress on this fact rs on what lie an
serted to be n scarcity Of the younger OF
ficers, none OF whom we're able to COPE
with either one, or any half dozen French
or English generals that might be named.

A Boys CRIME.
Being FIogged, Flo Kills n Babe for
Revenge.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 11.-This morn
ing at Bartlett, Tenn. "A small town about
ten miles from this city. X. Smith, boy
ten years of age, deliberately blew an
eleven month old baby's brains out
with a double barrelcd shotgun because
the parents of the child, with whom
he had been living for some time, had
severely fogged him yesterday. The
boy, Smith had no mother, and his father
had given him to family living about
four miles north of Bartlett to take care
of. He, not liking the people with whom
he had been placed by his father. left
them and went to the nearest neighbor s
house where he was taken in. Why they
logged him yesterday is not known, but
il IS said that he told the father Of the
child that he was going to kill it, and
this morning carried out his design. The
boy was brought to Memphis by depu-
ty sheriff today and placed in Jail. He
says that although he intended to kill the
child at the same time he didn't mean
to do it when he aimed at it with the
gun this morning. He says he didn't
know il was loaded, and thought the gun
only had cap on. He only meant to
brighten the child and he placed the muz-
zle of the gun directly against the boys
skull, and after IL was discharged the
baby's head was shattered mass of flesh
and blood. The boy says he don't care
what they do with him SO they dom
hang him. His father lives In this city.
